The Old and the New.

Queen Victoria while the guest of Lord
Salisbury could observe an almost unique
blending of the good things of the past
with those Of the present. fairfield
House is one Of the noblest existing monu-
ments of Elizabethan architecture. Yet it
is to remarkable degree fitted up with
=" all the modern conveniences of the
Victoria age 1t contains probably themost
elaborate and complete system of electric
lighting in the world, there being no less
than five hundred lamps in the great mar
BILE hall, and two thousand in the entire
building. Spring water is supplied to
every part of the house by an electric pump
ing engine, doors are opened and closed by
touching electric buttons, rooms are heated
by electric radiators, and elevators and
dumb walters run by electric power. The
system extends to the barns of the great
farm, where threshing machines, hay-cut
ters, grain mills and all other mechanical
devices are operated by electric energy.
In fact the whole place is marvel Of scien-
tifc equipment, contrasting curiously with
the ancient architecture of the Hall and the
often times medieval Toryism of its mas
ter's politics.

perfect weather. The deep clear waters
were as calm as an inland lake. Around
us, here and there, foated icebergs as blue
as the purest indigo. For reasons best
known to our pilot, we anchored for the
night. TWAS a superb night. The moon,
three-quarters full, tinged everything with
brilliant hue. About us was feet of
icebergs. The snow upon the mountain
peaks glistened like polished silver as the
moon rose in the heavens. Great schools
OF whales, snorting monsters, gambolled
about u.s. The silvery water lay rising and
falling, picture never for moment the
same, yet every moment more beautiful.
The following day brought us to Sitka,
the capital and chief city of Alaska, on the
west coast of Baranoff Island Under the
name of New Archangel, it was formerly
the capital of Russian America. As our
vessel approached its moorings native men,
women, and tiny children came padding
out to meet US in their canoes, some to pick
up any cast-off articles from tin cans to
cigar stumps; some 10 sell us fur caps,
baskets, and other useless articles, and
others, by smiling glances or mouFnful ap-
peals, to win from US our loose change or
anything we had to give.
"A view Of Mount Edgecomb with its
pointed snow-capped summit is obtained
from Sitka. Looking seaward ''Sitka's
thousand isles" arrest the eye. The city
itself is old and dilapidated. The most
conspicuous structures the Greek Church,
built in the form of a Greek cross, with a
green dome in the centre The old castle
on the hill, once the home of the Russian
Governor, now the United States signal
station, stands in dilapidated state. Some
few shops and cheap houses complete the
place. On the edge of the city, the Sitka
Indians have their huts, some of them be-
ing comfortable and warm.
The climate of this part of Alaska is by
no means severe, SO far as cold is concerned.
The Japan current, or black stream of
warm water flowing northward from the
coast of Japan, tempers the climate, bring
ing fogs and mists that envelop the valleys
and mountains. Fine potatoes are grown
in certain sections, SO also onions, and a
great variety of berries, as well as crab
apples, many of them in wild state
Among the interesting sights are the seals,
which are constantly seen skimming swiftly
through the water, their black heads and
large shining eyes just peeping above the
surface; and although the seal islands of
st. Paul and St. George are the only places
where seals can be legally taken, it is well
known that a large number of these ami
mails are annually captured by natives and
others in defiance of the law. The hunter
and trapper can find abundant game-bear,
deer, wolf, fox, beaver, ermine, marten,
otter-and other small game being abun-
dant. The feathered tribes are well and
abudantly represented. Flocks of gulls
float over the water or crowd the projecting
rocks. Ducks, geese, and snipe fly hither
and thiithhtasr in large aocks, while the king
fisher, with his peculiarly lonely whistle,
and the eagle perch themselves on dizzy
cliffs and look down contentedIy 6a-t.hEysa the
animated scene.

Money and its Uses.

From The Sunday Magazine.
There are people, very, mysterious
people, who often desire Money with the
most feverish eagerness of any, and vet
" Mhce.pp hSep they get it !Eey do nothing at all
with it. i /, goes gees into the bank, or into
stocks and shares, and years of hard work
and unfriendly scraping and grudging are
transmitted into few black figures in an
account book. The old folks die uncom-
forted, the young ones grow up uncherish-
ed, but more and more numerals are added
to the mystic row. What do they want
money for2 They do nothing with it,
except leave it behind them. We can
not help thinking that day will come
when this mere ''money-hunger" will be
classed with the Hdrink-craving," "klep-
tomania," and similar morbid pecularities,
and when those who suffer from ii may be
pitied and restrained like other lunatics.
There is no denying that money assumes
most important position in human life.
All mans duties, needs and ambitions clus-
ter round it. A mans character is best
seen in his dealing with it. He who gets
most human happiness anu welfare out Vi
its winning and spending is the sanest of
men. He who gets least of these is the
most insane. This is he who turns money
into human sin and misery, he who bribes
folly to its ruins, who entices the genius to
be the buffoon, who sets joyless and waste
full fashions of life. Next lowest is he
who gets money for its own sake, turning
it into nothing else. After him come the
people who spend it on such things as
might be quite sufficient to beings without
souls. Then follow those who lay it out
on high pleasures, which they can scarcely
enjoy alone, or which are certainly the
more delightful the more they are shared.
And higher still come those whose want is
only that they may do their duty TO others.
| (It is but perversion of this nobler nature
which makes it sometimes oyer-anxious to
provide for itself, and so spare others from
their duty to itD This brings us to the
conclusion that the only sane object for
getting money is that we have it to give,
not as mere dolers of aims, but as thought
ful distributors and stewards.

New Uses for Wire Cloth.
From. tie Iron Aqe.

From the Iron Age.
Wire cloth is an article which has but
recently been brought into general use
For a long time its high cost precluded its
use for almost every purpose but for arti-
cles with at least some claims to being
ornamental. The window and door screens
of former days were usually made of cotton
netting, dyed in fancy colors, and warranted
not to last more than one season, even
with the utmost care. The few wire screens
that were used were articles Of such luxury
chat they generally bore a printed land
scape or other pictorial representation to
indicate more strikingly their aristoerat-
ic character. The housekeeper who
would have inserted such screens in every
window of her dwelling would have been
an object of wonder to an entire communi-
ty for her colossal extravaganza. Coarsely
woven wire cloth was then used for few
purposes, principally for sieves and cellar
window guards, but the total quantity so
used in year in the entire country was
Insignificant
Now, however, the wire cloth industry,

Insurance Companies to Blame.


The increased number of fires all over
the country suggests the inquiry whether
the insurance companies are not offering a
premium for fires by their liberal risks?
In the competition for business the COM
panies insure property for more than it is
actually worth, and the owner makes money
by burning his house down or giving his
stock OF goods to the flames.
He is scoundrel it is true, who will do
this, but there are many scoundrels in this
world competent for just such work, Not
only so, but there are many who are not
scoundrels-many who are as honest as the
average humanity-who, with full insur-
ance protection, will not exercise the same
care, or provide equal safeguards as when
they are themselves bearing good portion
of the risk.
No property ought ever to be insured
for its full value. The owner should
always be substantially interested in its
protection. The public interest and the
public virtue are subserved thereby. Spec
ulation is rife all over the land-specu-
lation in everything, not only in stocks
and bonds, but even in the honor aud lives
of men. Fire insurance speculation ap-
pears to be now not the least of che evils
of these times.
@Lead us not in temptation Human
nature is weak and when the incentive to
wrong is so great as in some cases of insur-
ance, it is not wonderful that wrong is COM
mitted.
The worst of such wrong is not against
the insurance companies that are swindled.
1t is in the imperilled property and lives
of those who do not engage in this species
of speculation.
Let the insurance companies give more
consideration to public morals as well as to
their. own interest in this. 1t is time to
call halt. Then in the great cities at
least will the mysterious fires be fewer in
number; property will be more secure and
mems lives less imperilled.
